PTC and Rockwell Automation Solve Manufacturing’s Most Frequent Challenges with Combined Offerings
Unique Combination of IT and OT Software to Accelerate Customers’
Digital Transformation Initiatives; Joint Solution Featured at LiveWorx
BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#DigitalTransformation–Today at LiveWorx19™,
PTC
(NASDAQ: PTC) and Rockwell
Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK) demonstrated the unparalleled value of
their combined technologies, addressing the most costly and persistent
challenges manufacturers face today. Enabled by FactoryTalk
InnovationSuite, powered by PTC, the companies’ solutions-oriented
approach simplifies how manufacturers achieve business outcomes that
transform operational processes, workforce productivity and efficiency.
Digital transformation, which uses new technology to spur innovation and
creativity, has become imperative for manufacturers facing shifting
customer expectations, uncertain global trade and cost pressures, and
workforce shortages. Despite the many competitive advantages it can
provide, less than 10% of industrial companies describe their own
digital transformation efforts as a real success, according to LNS
Research. Those who are successful have an expansive, company-wide scope
and are deploying solutions that tackle broader challenges, like
understanding true performance across facilities with different
environments and systems or minimizing unplanned downtime across their
organizations.
“Manufacturers today require a new way to approach pressing challenges.
That’s why our combined Rockwell Automation and PTC solutions bring
together transformational technologies and drive true business
outcomes,” said John Genovesi, senior vice president, Enterprise
Accounts and Software, Rockwell Automation.
